Mo & Souza, is there a way to make sure all members get the notice? PM?
and, new date/time, anyone??
lastly, Billie Jean is trending on twitter now!! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->)
after years of being against twitter -i don't particularly like it-i joined. for you and michael. so i hope you guys are happy.
i have absolutely no idea how to work this majestic networking site. i just typed in the little box "#elvisandmjdotcom" and pressed "tweet." i hope that helps. but i dont have any followers and i dont know how to follow people <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
but i did it.
how often are we supposed to tweet this to make it a "trending topic?" does it matter that nobody is following me?
We should hold off tweeting the hashtag until the set date and time (up to the minute).
Here's the info I posted before that:
So, to recap:
The likelihood of us getting a WORLD WIDE trending topic (TT):
- at 6,000 people = GUARANTEED if everyone just tweets once at (or around) the same minute.
- at 2,800-ish we need to tweet our beaks off.
First, we need to set a date and time, and from that we can start "promoting".
I think the main reason we didn't succeed to get #elvisandmjdotcom trending is that we were bombarded with articles, live streams and TV shows on the 25th, and people simply forgot we had a date with Twitter. No problem, sh@t happens, so I we need to pick a new date and make it work this time.
As soon as we have picked a date and time Souza and I can send every member a PM. We will also put a message on the index of this website. Those who have Twitter, Facebook and/or MySpace can promote the event on their social network page as well.
Keep in mind that we made #MJalive trending on March 25th, so we can make #elvisandmjdotcom trending as well!
yes! i believe we can do it as well if we stand tgt as one! How about Saturday, July 3rd? it's easier for more believers to be available to tweet during the weekend, right? but is this saturday too short notice?
i'm not too sure about the timing... there're world cup matches going on and those topics tend to trend. maybe we should do it a couple of hours before or after a match...
what do u guys think?
if choose a date...july 4 is a good day?
Same here <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
just go to twitter.com and Registration, login and start to tweet~ <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
Keep the faith.
I LOVE YOU ALL & GOD BLESS:)
Longlivetheking, I too watched the video and although it's like a foreign language to me, the word 'HASH' kept jumping out at me too! When Harvey got that text, I'm sure he said something along the lines of 'It's hash not pot, thought it was the same thing', like he was highlighting the word 'hash' as important, not the drug thing.
But Twitter's still a foreigh language!
And here!
exactly - I asked myself what the difference was between marijuana and hash??? I'll have to google it... anyway, not only that then Harvey says something about the source of the text - he says "And, you know who you are..." Only a very few sources would know what was in the bag - be it marijuana or hash???? Let's see - our choices are 1. MJ or 2. Dr. Conrad Murray! So who texted Harvey???
The dates when there is no soccer match are June 30, July 1, 4, 5, 8 & 9, On those dates we won't have soccer TT's in the way. July 4 on the other hand is independence day, so big chance we will have Independence day TT's in the way. That is why I don't think July 4 will be a good day. On July 1 at 12 pm we cut the year in half. I suggest we set the date to July 1 at 12 pm PT.
In case we don't succeed, we can try again on the 4th or the 5th.
I also think we should put #elvisandmjdotcom in some tweets from now on, and notify others about the rally. Put it on your profile page, make comments on TMZ.com and post it on other forums as well.
Let's do it!

The homepage in the video looks a bit different because the video was made a year ago, but the information is still relevant.
It's in the video, but I'll answer you guys directly: after you're signed in, you'll be redirected back to the homepage (if a little box pops up prompting you to type in your login info, hit cancel and it'll go away). Next, type in what you want to say under the "What's Happening?" text area and click "tweet". Easy peasy. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
@mjfansince4: No one has to follow you in order to make a topic trend.
You don't have to follow anyone if you don't want to.

July 1st gives us only 3 days to organize = I don't think we should rush it and I strongly advise against using the hashtag before the set date and time otherwise it won't "spike" like it needs to. I say we set the date for July 9th at the earliest. Remember, everytime we fail we need to use a new hashtag.
I agree July 1 might be too early, I didn't realize that's in 2 days already. Yet I also don't think we should wait too long, because people might forget. June 25 wasn't very busy with tweeting either.
I say we pick July 5 in that case, a week from now. That should be doable.
